Predictions for long transits like the Rahu Ketu transit happening now are meant to give a general purport of the results. It does not mean that all the 18 months will be uniformly good or bad.
There is a school of thought that says that whenever Rahu and Ketu are plus or minus 3 degrees of the Ascendant degree or the degree of the Moon, the results will be more pronounced. It would translate to a time period of about 1 & 1/2 months.
The degree of the Ascendant or the degree of the Moon can be easily found on seeing the horoscope or Kundali. Most online horoscopes show them upfront.
Astropatri recommends that you read in either case – whether your Ascendant or Lagna is Cancer or your Moon sign or Rashi is Cancer.
Transit’s impacts are more commonly seen from the Moon sign or the Rashi but many a times, predictions and interpretations when seen from Ascendant seem more relevant and correct.
If Both forecasts ( i.e from your Ascendant and the Moon sign), outline a positive development, the chances of that prediction becoming reality is high.
Similiarly, if a negative is coming common in both Ascendant and Moonsign forecasts, the chances of that prediction coming true, get high.
If there is a contradiction for example Moonsign forecast says that the Rahu Ketu Transit of 2023 will be bad for your Health and Ascendant forecast says that it will be good, err on the side of precaution.
Rahu was in your 10th and it has moved to your 9th house. Unfortunately both are a bit problematic but still 10th house transit was a shade better.

Ketu has moved from your 4th house to 3rd house. Generally the placement of a malefic like Ketu in 3rd house augurs well for the native.
3rd house placement whether in Natal chart or in transit chart is a good enough placement of Ketu.
Ketu will stay in your 3rd house for 18 months from 30th October 2023 to May end 2025.
